I am afraid there is not infrastructure in KDE to handle that. Sorry,
there is. But this is for just clicking. RMB should offer slightly more.
If you prefer eg to open everything in New Tab (and has such settings in
Konq) OK. But what if some day you want to open in new Window? With
"open elsewhere" you have to go to Konq preferences, change settings,
open thing, return to preferences and switch to your previous setup.

In this case (and few others) nice solution would be something like:
menu combo item (as combo-button) - when you press it for longer period
or move mouse when pressing submenu opens, when press and release
quickly default action is taken. And it would be easier to use than
combo-buttons because in menu items you have more space to move :)

Agree.

All? Maybe not: Up and Back are a must. Forward... Can be useful.

And here combo-menu would be ideal solution. Look, you produced 4 items
for 2 actions where 90% of people are satisfied with default apps.
Yes, now I agree that "Open with >" should stay. Now we have in this
section:

Open
Preview
Open with >

But not "Open with...".
